QUIZ 3 Flashcards
Install double-hung vinyl windows with Low-E glass for all residential units. Windows shall have a minimum Energy Star rating of [Specify Rating]. Frames must be [Specify Color] and meet local building code requirements for wind load resistance. Provide insect screens and operable sashes for ventilation. All windows shall be installed with exterior caulking and interior trim to prevent air infiltration.
Prescriptive Specification
Windows shall provide adequate thermal insulation and soundproofing properties to enhance indoor comfort and minimize energy consumption. Window assemblies must achieve a U-factor of [Specify U-factor] or lower and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of [Specify SHGC] or lower. Additionally, windows should offer ease of operation, durability, and resistance to air and water infiltration, meeting or exceeding industry standards for performance and efficiency.
Performance Specification
Specify ‘BrandX’ aluminum-clad wood windows with triple-pane Low-E glass for all residential units. ‘BrandX’ windows shall feature a durable aluminum exterior finish in [Specify Color] and a natural wood interior finish. Provide double-hung or casement window styles as indicated on architectural drawings. Any deviation from ‘BrandX’ windows requires approval from the project architect.
Proprietary Specification
Windows shall comply with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 standards for performance, design, and installation. Specify windows with NFRC labels indicating compliance with ENERGY STAR requirements for energy efficiency. Installation shall follow manufacturer’s guidelines and ASTM E2112 standards for proper window flashing and sealing to prevent water intrusion. All windows must meet or exceed local building code requirements for structural integrity and wind resistance.
Reference Standard Specification
Interior doors shall conform to Philippine National Standard (PNS) 101:1995 for wooden doors, including requirements for material composition, dimensions, construction, and finishing. Doors must comply with PNS 10:1998 for door hardware, specifying quality standards for hinges, locks, handles, and other components. Installation shall follow guidelines outlined in PNS 141:2002 for the installation of wooden doors, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and operation. All doors must meet or exceed the requirements of the National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP) for fire resistance, safety, and accessibility.
Reference Standard Specification
Specify ‘BrandX’ fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) doors with wood grain finish for all interior door applications. ‘BrandX’ doors shall have a minimum thickness of 35mm and feature a solid core construction for enhanced durability and stability. Doors must be pre-hung in ‘BrandX’ door frames with ball-bearing hinges for smooth operation. Any deviations from ‘BrandX’ doors require approval from the project architect.
Proprietary Specification
Interior doors shall provide adequate sound insulation, durability, and ease of operation. Doors must have a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of [Specify STC rating] or higher to minimize noise transmission between rooms. Additionally, doors should withstand daily use without warping, splitting, or deteriorating over time. Hardware components such as hinges, locks, and handles must demonstrate resistance to corrosion and wear. Doors must comply with Philippine National Standards (PNS) for dimensional tolerances, material quality, and performance.
Prescriptive Specification
Install solid wood panel doors for all interior door openings in residential units. Doors shall have a minimum thickness of 35mm and be constructed of seasoned hardwood such as Narra or Mahogany. Provide brass or stainless steel hinges, locks, and handles. Doors must swing freely without binding and be installed with a minimum of three hinges. Finish with three coats of polyurethane varnish for durability and aesthetics.
